Doctor, I have been getting black, itchy spots on my legs. I was advised to get a blood test, and I have attached the report. Could you please review it and let me know if there is anything concerning?

If report is normal, spots may be due to dermatitis, vasculitis, or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Consider iron or B12 deficiency if not tested. If itchy, antihistamines or topical steroid creams help. If new labs show eosinophilia or platelets issue, dermatologist opinion is warranted.

My father has been a chain smoker for many years. Recently, I have noticed that he has become very lethargic, has lost interest in daily activities, and is also showing signs of forgetfulness. Although he has reduced his smoking, he has not quit completely. I am concerned whether these symptoms could be a result of long-term smoking. Kindly advise.

I have been having mild, constant pain in my arms and legs and tingling in my face and tongue for the past six months. The problem is more pronounced after exercise or even brisk walking. I have developed sensitivity to sound and an odd metallic taste in my mouth. My blood reports, including vitamin B12 and D3, are normal. Only my total cholesterol and LDL are low at 43. Fatigue is constant, and sometimes joint pain also occurs.
